n the wake of the ongoing protest by writers and artists over thegovernment's response to incidents of violence and intolerance, a group of sociologists have expressed their disquiet at the PM's 'late response' and his failure to assert that the rule of law will be defended

Statement by Sociologists on the Need to Maintain Constitutional and Academic Freedoms

We, as sociologists and concerned citizens, feel extremely concerned about the lynching at Dadri, and the murders of scholars and thinkers like MM Kalburgi, Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and others, and wish to register our strong protest.

We are not just shocked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late response, but also by the implications of the victim-blaming statement he made. To say that 'Hindus and Muslims should not fight each other but should fight poverty instead' puts the onus for peace and fighting poverty entirely on civil society and communities and absolves the state of any responsibility for both. As Prime Minister, he should have asserted that the state would defend the rule of law.

In a country with some 4693 communities and over 415 living languages, each community is bound to have its own customs, including dietary choices. Individuals may also follow practices different from the ones followed by the majority of their community. Any attempt to impose a uniform belief or practice, on either individuals or communities, is antithetical to the freedom enshrined in the Constitution. It is the state's responsibility to ensure this freedom.

Further, as scholars, we are extremely worried about the implications of these recent developments for our ability to study and write about different life ways, and to critically analyse society, including social phenomena like religion.
